It is high in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, and has the highest concentration of inulin of any other plant that contains inulin. Chicory was cultivated along the Nile in Egyptian times as a tonic and to help assist the liver functions.It contains a special class of carbohydrates known as fructans, a group containing inulin (not to be confused with insulin) and oligofructoses. These carbohydrates feed the symbiotic bacteria living in the intestine rather than the human body itself. They allow the healthy bacteria in the colon to produce short chain fatty acids that help prevent colon cancer, but they do not serve as a food source of pathogenic bacteria.1 ounce $4.50
